Shorty, thank you for your patience

Don't the plug and
pray things get you going?
The No-CD fix, is not just an overwrite.
When you go down that track, you
replace the EA built game executable, with one rebuilt by FAirLIght, that has had SecuRom totally and for ever removed. The games file (sims2ep.exe) was de-constructed back to programming source code, the bits that are SecuRom were
deleted, and then the source code re-compiled into the executable file that is the "No-CD" fixed Sims2EP6.exe.
You
rename the originally installed EA game file to, for example, XSim2EP6.exe or NotSims2EP6.exe, then copy the new same named file in its place. It really is that simple.
But, you must install the EA stuff, patch, do not play the game at all, do not be tempted to look see at it.
Then, do the little tricky bit.
